Chapter 366: Secret Weapon

Amoeba Worm Instance World, Day 14, 8:01 AM.

Dawn.

Inside the newly built temporary pre-war base, Lin An continuously flipped through the documents in his hand.

67 representatives selected from various factions gathered at the war command center, and no one dared to speak.

Quiet.

"Lord Lin An, most factions have already completed integration, and personnel and supplies are continuously being transported."

Kesiman carefully observed Lin An's expression.

Under high-pressure measures, and incidentally letting Zhang Tie go door-to-door to clean up the resisting holdouts, most factions in the Amoeba Worm Instance World have already expressed submission.

Based on the available data, the Amoeba Worm Instance World is less a world and more a circular island.

However, this island is huge, comparable to a continent.

The island is surrounded by an "air wall" on all sides, with some rivers interspersed.

Above the sky at ten thousand meters is a no-fly zone, while the central region of the island was once the largest nation, where Bo Ci Man is located.

And the core capital of Bo Ci Man, Bo Duo Er, is a mysterious high tower.

Before the catastrophe, nations and city clusters were built in concentric rings around the central region.

After the catastrophe, all safety zones retreated to the wilderness at the world's edge, relying on military bases to establish.

The world's population is not large: before the catastrophe it was about 1 billion, and after the catastrophe only thirty-seven million remain.

Compared to the real world's population of over a hundred billion, this instance world is obviously just a fragment.

"Which factions have not yet joined?"

After putting down the report in his hand, Lin An calmly looked at Kesiman, making him feel a sudden pang of anxiety.

"Moreover."

"How is the equipment development coming along?"

Kesiman did not dare to raise his head, and quickly reported the prepared data:

"In total, 33 safety zones still refused to merge; of those, six were directly overrun by surrounding forces and forcibly merged."

"These 33 safety zones are mostly religious in nature, and their superiors consider you to be..."

Lin An gave a light laugh and casually finished Kesiman's unsaid words:

"What do you think I am?"

"A demon? An evil god?"

Kesiman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gave an embarrassed laugh, and hastily added:

"My lord, you don't need to pay attention to these rumors."

"In our hearts, you are the divine envoy sent from heaven!"

"The remaining safety zones are just a few defeated small forces, totaling less than six hundred thousand people; they have scattered and fled into the deep wilderness."

"We have been desperately trying to track their traces..."

Upon hearing this, Lin An raised his arm:

"No need; since the remaining small forces have few people, there's no need to worry about them."

"Our goal is to integrate the vast majority of personnel; there's no need to waste time on them."

Seeing that Lin An did not pursue his responsibility, Kesiman involuntarily let out a long sigh of relief.

He respectfully took a box from behind him and then gestured for Lin An to examine it:

"My lord, the item you urgently requested has been prototyped."

Inside the box lay a small, simple device resembling a crystal core, with an orange bump on the crystal core, looking as if a battery had been added.

After picking up the sample, Lin An casually flipped it over a few times:

"Has it been tested?"

"Can it meet all demands within a week?"

Kesiman cautiously bent his body, eyes upward, secretly looking at the sample in Lin An's hand.

All demands...

Upon hearing Lin An's question, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Not daring to deceive, Kesiman heavily nodded:

"My lord, within a week we should be able to equip everyone."

"The design of this thing is not complicated, and it consumes few materials."

"Just..."

After struggling for a moment, he mustered the courage and couldn't help but ask:

"Are we really supposed to do this?"

No comment.

Lin An put away the sample, giving a half-smile as he stared at the solemn Kesiman:

"How?"

"Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Kesiman was shocked, and the faces of the rest of the people in the command center all changed dramatically.

As the selected high-level officials, they naturally knew what this thing was.

Kesiman's question was actually what they all wanted to ask.

Upon sensing Lin An's slight displeasure, everyone in the command room was frightened and knelt down.

Leading Kesiman was even more terrified, his face filled with grief.

"No! We absolutely dare not question any of your decisions, sir!"

"Yeah! We will unconditionally obey your orders!"

No one dared to speak up and refute, nor did anyone dare to speak again.

A bloody lesson.

Since Lin An issued his statement, in just a week, the nobles and rebels hanging on the city walls could circle the entire world...

There are simply too many dead, enough to make them tremble with fear.

Order after order was issued, making these remaining high-level officials groan in misery.

Apart from the lower-class people clapping and cheering, these people lived in fear that they might be hanged any day.

The higher the position, the greater the fear of death.

Seeing no one object, Lin An didn't say anything more.

From entering the Amoeba Worm instance to unifying the forces of the whole world, it took a total of 14 days.

In the history of this world, this can be called astonishingly swift.

But in Lin An's view,

It's slow, still too slow.

Fourteen days in the Amoeba Worm instance world equal 1.4 days in the real world.

He clearly remembered that Huang Shaohua once said: In the Amoeba Worm world, the players with the longest survival time are First Level Awakened Ones.

They had spent a total of 8 days in the real world, which equals 80 days in the instance world.

The shortest is the Third Rank peak, having spent just over two days in the real world, roughly equivalent to 27 or 28 days in the instance world.

The threat of unknown death constantly hung over his head, like a Dharma sword ready to fall at any moment.

Lin An also put himself in their shoes, wondering if he were a Third Rank peak, how long it would take him to "conquer" the whole world?

The answer is about three days in the instance world.

The existence of a Third Rank peak can already achieve supersonic flight within the atmosphere, able to fly from one end of the Amoeba Worm world to the other within ten hours.

In the state of supersonic flight, even a casual strike can rival a tactical missile bombardment.

With full power unleashed, at most three days would be enough to sweep away all forces.

Therefore, a 20-day alert period.

This is a death order Lin An gave himself.

He himself has too little information about the Amoeba Worm.

He can only choose the most likely option, and also this world can only face this mission with external force.

Unite all forces.

Within 20 days, he must command all survivors of this world, paving a road to victory with flesh and blood!

As for how that Third Rank peak existence died, and whether he also, like oneself after grasping the world's power, went to the high tower?

This is unknown.

Outside the command center, Zhang Tie burst in with a grin, tilting his head, looking astonished at the senior officers kneeling on the ground.

"Lin Dui, I heard you had people make a new gadget?"

"What is it? Can I take a look?"

"They say this thing is a secret weapon against zombies?"
